Patton electronics CopperLink 2172R Specifications

Patton's 2172R extends Ethernet connections at distances up to 5,500 feet over already existing serial infrastruc-
ture cabling
Operates Over Twisted Pair
Reduces the cost and hassles of new installa-
tions. Utilizes installed voice-grade twisted pairs
to eliminate the expense of fiber or Cat5e cabling.
Plug and Play
No configuration or cable hassles during instal-
lation with auto-sensing 10/100, full or half
duplex, and auto MDI-X.
Full-duplex data-line rate of 100 Mbps
Provides near fiber performance for bandwidth
intensive applications
Ruggedized
Operating temperature of -10 to 70°C or
-10 to 80°C for 2172/CC

Model 2172R
T
he Patton Model 2172R utilizes pre-
existing twisted pair infrastructure
enabling twisted pair previously used
for legacy systems such as TTL, RS232
and 422/485 to be used for extending or
connect Ethernet devices together. With a
pair of 2172R's or combined with a 2172,
twisted pair can carry an extraordinary
bandwidth of 100 Mbps full-duplex (50
Mbps up and downstream). Reusing the
already existing infrastructure for Ethernet
Networking eliminates the cost of purchas-
ing expensive fiber and Cat5E or greater
cabling. Most importantly, it completely
100 Mbps full duplex
over one ordinary-
grade twisted-pair

The 2172R was designed to operate in a
rugged environment, with temperature
ranges from -10 to 70°C, and the option for
conformal coating protecting the device
from condensing humidity, and operates at -
10 to 80°C. The 2172R's aluminum case
design allows for users to conveniently
mount them either on a wall or DIN.
